Hi everyone 
If I was really in the BB house I'd want to find ways to occupy my time as best I could. I'm an avid fan of word games and board and card games so I figure I'd share one with all of you. Feel free to play along.
This game is called Lingo. It's played much like the show except in message board form it goes a little something like this.
I have a five letter word.
I give you the first letter of the five letter word:
L _ _ _ _
You guess a five letter word:
L O C U S
I'll let you know if the letters are in the right place or not even in the word at all.
L o _ _ _
(Lower case means the letter is in the word but not in the right place. A blank means the letter isn't in the word at all)
Then play continues while you guess another word:
L I P I D
L I _ _ _
(An uppercase letter means that the letter is in the word AND in the right place! Good job!)
Keep guessing until the word is found! When you get the word correct you get a point and then you get to choose the next 5 letter word.
L I G H T
L I g _ _
L I N G O
!!! Congrats! You're in charge!
Everyone's free to join in
First word:
B _ _ _ _
The point system works like this:
If you get it on the first guess it's worth 5 points. Every subsequent guess is worth a point less. When the points reach 0 the word is revealed and a new word is chosen. Good luck all!
